Jada Toys is going to be releasing a series of RC vehicles called Hollywood Rides. On Jada's instagram page you can see an image of Bumblebee and Optimus prime's vehicle modes pictured with a controller. Bumblebee looks more suited to the movieverse, while Optimus Prime is decked out in his G1 look. The Bumblebee RC car will be in 1:16 scale and the Optimus Prime will be in 1:32 scale. You may recall that Jada has done some pretty sweet die-cast cars in the past including this awesomely detailed model of Optimus Prime and the cast of The Last Knight. Let us know what you think!

G1 Prime looks pretty great. Might pick him up if I see him.

Following on from the first world sighting of Jada's Transformers Studio Series Hollywood Rides toyline, fellow Seiberton user, Scottimus Prime has informed us he has come across Optimus Prime in a Target in Commack, Long Island, New York.

These are non-transforming die-cast vehicles, and features several representations of characters from the Last Knight instalment of the live action movies. These include the likes of Bumblebee, Hot Rod, Crosshairs and Barricade. There is also two versions of Optimus Prime, with one of them bearing a deco similar to his first movie design.

Will you be picking any of these up? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

this is hardly news worthy. these same "figures" have been on Wal-Mart shelves down here in Texas for the last two weeks. because these are just a re-hash from the TLK toy line, nobody bothered reporting. the real story here ought to be whether or not Hot Rod was available in this size, seeing as how it was never released as the Wal-Mart exclusive that it was slated to be. collectors like myself were never able to complete the set. let me know if/when that takes place...

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian, Scottimus Prime, we have another confirmed sighting of the Jada Hollywood Rides Transformers Studio Series in the United States. It was spotted at Commack Target in Long Island, New York. These are non-transforming die cast scale vehicles and the ones seen here are a Bumblebee based on his The Last Knight appearance and two different Optimus Prime's. One is the same as in the previous sighting while the other is Optimus as he appeared in the 2007 movie and it's this particular toy that is being seen for the first time. This Peterbilt cab was first seen on the slide showing upcoming cars from Jada, which also includes a G1 Optimus cab that has yet to show up at retail.

Do you plan on picking these up? Let us know in the comments and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all the latest news and reviews.

I'm confused why they would slap the studio series label on these , since these aren't even part of the line..

I know right? It's a bizarre choice and a mouthful to type out.

Maybe its because both lines have the exact same mission statement, which is to bring the most accurate version of what we see onscreen to toy form. In this case, it reffers to just the alt modes.

Jada has been making nice collectible die cast cars featuring Transformers movie characters for a while. For the nano line, they are going extra small, the smallest they ever have and series 1 just came out in Canada. It isn't even on Toysrus' database yet (where this set was found), and thus no price could be scanned. This first series features Bumblebee and Optimus as they featured in Transformers the Last Knight along with a 1977 Camaro Bumblebee. We are also supposed to get G1 car models in this line but they have yet to be found in stores.
